My kids squealed when they saw the starfish in the soup. Haha! Such a delight.
And my girl asked me to cook it again. She likes the taste.

I made this soup some time ago when I had guests for dinner. No one ever tasted starfish in anything before. No one said no to this bowl of soup. I'm glad everyone didn't feel disgusted.

You can get dried starfish from a herbal shop in One Utama, and I saw these too in a dried seafood shop in Ipoh's old town.

Now, you might ask what are the benefits of starfish soup. I read it is beneficial for lowering triglycerides, some say it's good for relieving gastric problems... I am not sure though. I just take this for the taste. It's a bit fishy, but we like the taste.
